Located on the east coast of Sundak Beach, the beach that is
lined by rocky cliff is one of the beaches that presents different views
with other beaches in Gunung Kidul. Not only decorated with white sand,
rocky hill, and the clear blue water as if calling for tourists to dive
into it, Indrayanti Beach is also equipped with a row of restaurants
and cafes and inns that will spoil tourists. A variety of menu ranging
from seafood to fried rice can be ordered in a restaurant facing the
beach. At night, gazebos at the beach will look pretty as lit by
flickering lights. Enjoying dinner at the cafe accompanied by the sound
of the wind and the waves will be an unforgettable romantic experience.
Mentioning the name of Indrayanti Beach ealier got a
lot of controversy. Indrayanti is not the name of the beach, but the
name of the cafe and restaurant owner. Since the name Indrayanti was
displayed on the board of this beach cafe and restaurant, eventually
people called this beach by the name of Indrayanti Beach. While the
government named this beach as Pulang Syawal Beach. But the name of
Indrayanti is more popular and more commonly known than Pulang Syawal.
The involvement of private parties in the management of Indrayanti Beach
apparently helped bring a positive impact. Unlike the other beaches
that are rather dirty, the shoreline along Indrayanti Beach looks clean
and free from rubbish. This is because the manager does not hesitate to
impose a fine of Rp. 10,000 for each waste disposed by tourists
carelessly. Therefore Indrayanti Beach becomes a comfortable place to
visit.
